'Forced conversions and marriages': Minorities facing persecution in Pakistan, government informs Parliament
Thursday, 20 March 2025 The Union government told Parliament there have been reports of violence and discrimination against minority communities, including Hindus, in Pakistan. Many Hindus are reportedly migrating from Sindh province due to intimidation, abduction, forced conversions and forced marriages. Hindu migrants in India can apply for Long Term Visas and seek permanent settlement and Indian citizenship.
New Zealand’s Parliament suspended three opposition lawmakers, Rawiri Waititi, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, and Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, over their haka performance in protest of a controversial bill. The bill, supported by the conservative government, sparked backlash from the Māori community, with critics claiming it represented an anti-Māori agenda. This protest, the most severe disciplinary action against lawmakers in New Zealand’s history, signals a growing debate over Māori culture’s role in public life and the nation’s push for Indigenous rights.
